Is anybody actually depending on the old `CString'? Or is everybody using `PackedString' instead?
I don't believe anyone is using PackedString, except for Regex which arguably should be using CString instead. I'd like to see a simpler PackedString which just corresponded to ByteArrays.
The current UniForM sources use both PackedString and CString in various places. The interface to PackedString happens to be documented, which was why I thought it might be possible to rely on it.
